NEW DELHI: Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar's pep talk worked wonders for many over the years and the latest to join the bandwagon is Afghanistan batter Ibrahim Zadran who scored an unbeaten century against Australia in the ODI World Cup match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old played 131 balls, hitting seven fours, marking his fifth one-day international century in 27 games. Zadran played through the entire innings with an unbeaten 129 from 143 balls guiding Afghanistan to their highest-ever World Cup score of 291 for five.
